The Sacred River

Narcissus returns to his place of birth intending to sell the house where he grew up. But the place strangely captivates him. He passionately falls in love with a young woman, Persefone, who is marked by the ancient myth of Hades. But the lovers appear to be trapped within a web of inexplicable events. A wondering saint with a bloodied robe and an old church that is in the process of renovation compose a strange journey into mystery and self-knowledge. Everyday people who experience events in the raw, in their archetypal poetry, to find the meaning that shines inextricable inside them. The Sacred River is a magical trip from the psyche to the psyche. A trip to what is not visible.

“The rain would not stop, I was soaked, shaking, but did not move. I was standing there, still, looking at the sack with the bones that rattled strangely. Small torrents on the ground were uprooting Trees and shrubs and I was thinking about the oracle “you will find them on the day it rains…”
